Unable to send mail from Vista

[Sandy]

I have quite a few problems with Vista. I understand my work VPN doesn't
work with Vista yet. My newest concern though is emailing pictures. I just
installed a program to get put my pics on my computer however when I went to
email the pics they never arrived. I realized they were coming from a
Microsoft email account which I didn't know existed. How do I go about
finding a password and username to an account I didn't even know existed?
The emails are all waiting in que but they are not arriving to their
destination. Plus since Vista doesn't support http email addresses, how do
I find the POP3...info especially since I have a mobile broadband modem, not
direct internet access.

Please help at (e-mail address removed).

Thanks!

Sandy - I'm having the same problem. My messages are stuck in the "out box"
and I've tried everything. I am using Windows mail - I have some important
messages that need to get out - I need help too!

I'm sorry, but your problem statement is so confusing that I can't
make heads or tails out of it.

If you've tried "everything" then you must have tried the two fixes
that are most likely to correct your problem, right?
The ones that have been discussed here at length:

1. WMUtil clears stuck messages from the Outbox:

2. Windows Live Mail is an upgrade for Windows Mail:

P.S. Sandy can't help you.

It seems that a lot of people are having a similar problem including me. I
cured mine by following instructions found at the Microsoft web site. It’s
easy to follow and it may cure your problem by checking and replacing any
corrupted system files. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212/en-us

Gary. Why in heck doesn't MS just send WLM as a "necessary" Windows update
to everyone who doesn't already have it. It would be a gift. It's been 1 week
and not a glitch. Thanks again. Wayne

I remember reading somewhere that WLM will eventually replace WM.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Microsoft may just do that in conjunction with releasing Service pack 1
for Vista later this year.

Don't forget WLM is still in beta testing, so MS can't present it as a
fully qualified replacement for WM at this point.

hey guys , I did what Gary said. I went into tools options advanced and
compacted the folder and did all that jazz. It worked. so my problem
disappeared. all the waiting messages in the outbox were sent. i composed a
new message and it was sent. so so far so good. any new problems i will post
immediately.

i hope this helps everyone.
